The Peacocks of Pitti Uomo, January 2026

Pitti Uomo, the twice-a-year international clothing trade show in Florence wrapped up today and the buyers, fashion journalists, and industry figures who attend are often as interestingly dressed (sometimes more so) as the clothing inside the Fortezza da Basso. The courtyard outside provides a perfect spot for watching these peacocks come and go...and this year we see that classic Italian suiting never goes out of style (along with a healthy does of eccentric accessories), but a rather dapper, Film Noir 1940s look appeared, complete with fedoras and neck ties sporting beautiful 40's patterns. I love the style from that period so it is a welcome sight, an antidote to the silly cowboy look and American military wear that seems to stubbornly hang on amongst some of these fashion devotees.
